It would take a few days to travel from Yan City to the Jia Ma Empire's Holy Capital.
Originally, if Xiao Li and Hai Bodong traveled at full speed, they could have reached the Jia Ma Empire's Holy Capital very quickly.
But they weren't in such a hurry to get there, so they could take their time.
During their rest breaks, Xiao Li didn't forget to enter the Four Symbols Array space to check on Green Savage.

"Have some food. Although a Dou Huang can go days without eating, your cultivation is sealed now, so eating will help you recover your strength more easily."
Xiao Li placed a few pieces of roasted meat in front of Green Savage.
Green Savage had originally intended to refuse, not wanting to accept charity.
But before she could even open her mouth to refuse, her stomach protested first.
Helpless, she could only swallow the words on the tip of her tongue and silently take the roasted meat to eat.
Only after she was full would she have the strength to resist.
Xiao Li watched her quietly from the side.
Being willing to eat was at least a good sign; he was afraid she might get depressed and do something rash.
"How long do you plan to keep me locked up? I won't take that girl away, and you've already done that to me… isn't this price enough?" Green Savage looked up at him, her red lips slightly bitten.
She regretted taking on this mission.
Why did she go looking for the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils? Now, not only did she fail to take the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils, but she also lost herself in the process.
What a huge loss!
"This price isn't enough just because you say it is; it's enough when I say it is."
How could Xiao Li possibly let go of anything that could earn him rewards?
Green Savage's value hadn't been fully exploited yet.
"Don't even think about returning to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Stay by my side and be my woman."
"That's impossible!" Green Savage immediately refused.
"How much can your Heavenly Serpent Mansion give you? Stay by my side, and you can get things you've never had before. Reaching Dou Zong is also just around the corner." Xiao Li offered his temptation.
"Hmph, no matter what conditions you offer, I will never agree to them. Give up!" Green Savage said resentfully.
"Still quite temperamental. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite."
Xiao Li strode towards her.
"What do you want to do?"
"What do you think? Of course, it's to do proper business."
Xiao Li ripped open her clothes, and his long spear was deployed.
Since talking nicely was useless, he wouldn't be blamed for resorting to force after initial courtesy.
He was going to thoroughly conquer Green Savage!
...Over the next few days, Xiao Li entered the Four Symbols Array space daily, toiling day and night.
Despite Green Savage's resistance, with her cultivation sealed, she was utterly unable to fight back.
Moreover, she had a virtue, or perhaps a flaw—she was afraid of death.
If it were anyone else, they might have thought of ending their own life, but Green Savage did not.
No matter how much resentment she harbored, she never considered ending it all by taking her own life.
This led to her being able to only let Xiao Li toil over her; unable to resist, she could only silently endure.
This continued until the day before Xiao Li and his group arrived at the Jia Ma Empire's Holy Capital.
Xiao Li finished his usual toil.
[Ding! Green Savage has successfully conceived.]
[Reward: 'Earth-tier Low-grade Cultivation Method: Heavenly Serpent Art'!]
[Reward: 'Pupil Technique: Pupils of Illusion'!]
…"Oh, it finally succeeded."
Looking at Green Savage, who was once again exhausted and weak, Xiao Li was finally satisfied.
His hard work these past few days was not in vain; there were finally results.
Among this batch of rewards, the best was undoubtedly the Pupils of Illusion.
[Pupils of Illusion: Illusionary pupil technique. Can cast powerful illusions through eye contact. Effect doubled against magical beasts.]
Looking at Green Savage, who was panting from exhaustion, Xiao Li took out a pill and handed it to her.
"What is this? Trying to restrict me with poison?" This was the first time Xiao Li had given her a pill, so Green Savage was naturally suspicious.
"Don't think of me as so sinister, and I don't need such methods to threaten you. This is an An Tai Pill, for you to take, to strengthen the fetal qi." Xiao Li explained.
"An Tai Pill?" Green Savage was stunned for a moment, not reacting.
"You already have my child in your belly. This pill is for my child." Xiao Li stated plainly.
"You, what did you say? How is this possible…"
She touched her belly with a shocked and incredulous expression.
"Although your cultivation is sealed, you should be able to feel a subtle new life within you."
Indeed, Green Savage could feel a very subtle, newly formed life within her.
Though faint, it shared an inseparable blood connection with her, as if even their souls were linked.
"How could this be…" she murmured in a daze, somewhat unable to accept it.
She was actually pregnant with Xiao Li's child?!
For a moment, her mind was blank, unsure of what to do.
Everything had happened too suddenly.
Xiao Li left her alone to calm down properly.
Of course, the Four Symbols Array itself also had a monitoring function; if Green Savage were to attempt to end her own life, Xiao Li would be able to discover it immediately... Jia Ma Empire's Holy Capital.
After several days of travel, Xiao Li and his group finally arrived at this imperial capital city of the Jia Ma Empire.
"So many people…"
Seeing such a bustling city for the first time, Green Scale's eyes were filled with light, full of surprise.
Although Stone Desert City was also a large city, it naturally couldn't compare to the Jia Ma Empire's Holy Capital, and the customs and traditions of these two places were completely different.
"After so many years, I've returned again." Hai Bodong also sighed with emotion.
He had also lived in the Jia Ma Empire's Holy Capital back then, but after so many years of obscurity, the Jia Ma Empire's Holy Capital was somewhat different from how he remembered it.
"Xiao Li, if you have nothing urgent, this old man will go meet some old friends first."
Xiao Li nodded: "Alright, you go. If I need anything, I'll find you at the Mittel Family."
"Alright."
Hai Bodong left alone, while Xiao Li and Green Scale walked around the Imperial Capital, then found a hotel to stay in and rest well... Early the next morning, before Xiao Li had even begun to plan their next itinerary, he heard Green Savage calling him from within the Four Symbols Array space.
So he entered the Four Symbols Array space again.
"What's wrong?"
Green Savage looked at the man who had taken possession of her, her emotions very complex.
"I want to go out and get some fresh air. You can't keep me locked in here forever, can you? I can't escape anyway." Green Savage said.
"Of course you can." Xiao Li readily agreed and brought Green Savage out.
After many days, returning to the outside world, Green Savage also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are we now?"
"The Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire."
"We've actually come here?" Green Savage's mood was quite melancholic.
At this moment, Green Scale, who was nearby, also noticed Green Savage and was somewhat surprised: "Young Master Xiao Li, why is she still here…"
"Hmm, I kept her here. You two can keep each other company." Xiao Li suddenly had an idea and said to Green Savage,
"Green Savage, Green Scale cannot return to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion with you, but you should know some cultivation methods for the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils, right? How about you help guide Green Scale in her cultivation?"
